  • Marche De Mexico
    VIC MILLER REMINISCENCES ON THE MEXICAN REVOLUTIONARIES Readers of this newsletter will know Vic Miller's name in the context of racewalking stamps. Vic is one of the experts on whom I call when I am reviewing walking related philatelic matters. But Vic is a sports enthusiast in his own right, and has put together his own reminiscences on the Mexican racewalking revolution. For my friend Down Under, Tim Erickson, who once took a walk and never stopped... Marche de Mexico In 1958 an Englishman named John Velzian was hired as a physical education officer for Kenya, overseeing athletics in the emerging African country's school system. With an emphasis on track, Velzian began to tap a reservoir of natural runners. Before the end of the British Empire and Commonwealth Games in August of 1966, Kenya, the young independent country, had come of age in track. Given the fanaticism for futbol and a seemingly inexhaustive supply of inexhaustive participants, it was only a matter of time that a similar breakthrough in track would occur in the land of the Aztlan. Just a little over two months prior to the opening of the aforementioned '66 British Empire and Commonweath Games, seven foreigners had been inserted into Mexico with a vision of giving the host nation of the next Summer Olympics some athletes to cheer about. One of these coaches, Jerzy Hausleber, assembled a half dozen hopefuls. Of Hausleber's six students, his proverbial prize pupil was soon identified. Jose Pedraza Zuniga, a soldier in the enlisted ranks of the Mexican army who was pushing thirty years old, was as unlikely a person to pin a medal hope on as was his discipline: race walking! Jose Pedraza, though, quickly established himself as someone worthy of Jerzy Hausleber's focus.

  • VENIAMIN SOLDATENKO – SOVIET MASTER WALKER Veniamin Vasilievich Soldatenko Was Born on 4Th January 1939 in the Village of Shku
    VENIAMIN SOLDATENKO – SOVIET MASTER WALKER Veniamin Vasilievich Soldatenko was born on 4th January 1939 in the village of Shkurovka in the steppes of Northern Kazakhstan. There was no school in Shkurovka at that time and he studied in the neighbouring village four kilometres away from his home. In any weather, he walked to school and back home six days a week. One wonders if this may have somehow influenced his rather unique method of training for racewalking where he regularly did 3 days of training in succession followed by a day of rest. Before taking up walking, Soldatenko had tried many sports including boxing, short distance running, wrestling, weightlifting, gymnastics and acrobatics. With a light yet strongly built frame (175cm and 63 kg), he had a build that could be adapted to many sports. He opted for walking in 1962 while studying at the Physical Education College in Moscow after being targetted by Anatoly Fruktov, one of the top coaches of the time. Within two years, he had won his first title – the USSR 20 km championship. Right after that, his coach suggested that he master the 50 km event. It proved the correct move and, in 1969, he took the Russian record with 4:12:20.4. That same year, in his first international appearance over the distance, on the famous Marathon Highway in Greece, he was third in the European Championship with 4:23:04. The 1970 Lugano Cup 50 km – Soldatenko (USSR), Lyungin (USSR), Selzer (GDR) and Bartsch (USSR) In 1970, he enrolled in the University of Alma Ata (which was at that time the capital of Kazakhstan) as an undergraduate in sports studies and his career really took off.

  • HAPPY~O LIDAYS! the ORWRANKINGS for 1984 the Ohio Racewalker Is Proud to Announce :.Ts Annual World and U.S
    HI VOWME XXI NUMBER10 COWMBUS1 OHIO DEX:FMBER1984 HAPPY~O LIDAYS! THE ORWRANKINGS FOR 1984 The Ohio Racewalker is proud to announce :.ts annual world and U.S. rankinRS for both men and womenat theprimary distances. As usual, the whole world has been impi.tiently awaiting the momentous announcement of these prestigious rankings. Of course, those honored receive absolutely no reward and may never even hear of their eelection--only a few hep individuals read the ORW,but how much glory is their in race walking anyway. This marks the 14th consecutive year the ORWhas ranked the wor'.d •s top male walkers at 20 and 50 kilometers, the 12th time we have ranked U.S men at the sameutwo distances, and the seventh year for rankin g women, both world and .S, at 5 and 10 kilometers. (Actually, we have not ranked U. s . womenat 5 Kmthis year, because there was just too littl e action, at least repcrted to us, to justify rankings.) The rankings ar e based on the athletes• record over the season and represent a consensus of opinion between your editor and absolutely nobody else -- they are subjective and arbitrary. Criteria used are times, record in major competition, head-to­ head competition, and personal bias. The rankings at each distance are fol.lowed by lists of the top times for the yaar. 1984WOBLn 20 KMRANKINc:3 1. Ernesto Canto, Mexico 5. Ralf Kowalsky, Ger.

  • Issue at 40 Pages Is Now Double the Size It Was This Time Last Year
    FRONT COVER: The start of the London Open Walks 2010 on January 31st. PHOTO: by Mark Easton Editorial It looks like 2010 is going to be a renaissance year for race walking. Athletes have shown that they have been training hard over the winter, and many people have set themselves targets for the coming year, whether they be to do well in certain races, achieve selection, improve PB’s, or just to finally beat a close rival. The public interest in race walking is also increasing, and people’s general perception of the event is now more serious and less mocking. The number of people entering some races is increasing. Old faces are re-appearing, and new faces are showing signs of rapid improvement. Who knows, perhaps more walkers not seen for a few years will be tempted to come back and have a go… There are more events to choose from this year, and some events are being tweaked to make them more appealing. Also, huge city walks look set to return, as more people try to get active, without wishing to become runners. Records will fall this year, and the British team are likely to do better than they have for many years. Things are definitely looking up! P.S. Although RWR is being published every month, the calendar month on the cover does not currently match when the magazine actually comes out - thank you to everyone who has repeatedly pointed this out to me! There is a seven week gap that has built up between ‘when it should’ and ‘when it does’ and this will now be reducing.
